The actress revealed her top tips to dressing appropriately for the festive season on her lifestyle blog goop.

The star explained how she has recently fallen in love with elaborate clothing items she sported during a recent trip overseas.

"I was working in Dubai yesterday and got to go to the top of the Burj Khalifa (I call it the Wiz Khalifa). This pic is taken in the bathroom of the Chairman's Suite at the very, very top of the building. Tom Cruise is the only person who's ever showered in here while he was filming Mission Impossible," she revealed. "I borrowed this sick Valentino jumpsuit for a presentation and I found these amazing Erickson Beamon earrings. Obsessed."

The star continued to discuss how best to dress when hosting a dinner party. The mother-of-two explained how comfort and style are both important to her when having a gathering in her home.

"The trouser and loose T-shirt combo is always a good one, as it's comfortable yet put together," she advised. "Found these vermillion wool pants from Theory and these pink crepe trousers from J.Crew. Pair them with a vintage cotton tee like the ones shown from J.Crew."

Gwyneth revealed more about her current favourite designers for perfect party wear. She raved about Alexander Wang's jersey dresses and also confessed she is partial to sale shopping for a bargain buy.

"A jersey dress that drapes right can look elegant but is light and cool enough to sustain several trips in and out of the kitchen. We like T by Alexander Wang's version and this festive Carven dress (which I recently bought). Both are on sale!" she explained.

"Another fun alternative is this neoprene dress by T by Alexander Wang, which will keep its shape no matter what you do. I've gotten really into shopping on Ssense, where we found all these great pieces."
